Musical Masters | Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Two dazzling international stars join the Orchestra for this special matinee performance of four charming and popular favourites.

Añu Tali, described by the Herald Tribune as ‘charismatic, brilliant, energetic’, brings an exquisite programme of music by four true masters of music to Aylesbury.

Esteemed soloist Jennifer Pike performs Mozart’s elegant and intimate Third Violin Concerto followed by Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending, with its lyrical violin line soaring to the heavens. ‘Jennifer Pike’s playing [is] at once forthright and beautifully yearning, with technique to match.’ BBC Music Magazine

Elgar’s ever-popular and quintessentially English ‘Enigma’ Variations provides a fantastic finish to this performance. A landmark piece not just for Elgar, but for British music, Elgar wrote his Variations in dedication to a number of dear friends, with one theme left unnamed, adding to the work’s mystery and intrigue.
